Most bacterial pathogens have the remarkable ability to flourish in the external environment
and in specialized host niches. This ability requires their metabolism, physiology, and …

The formation of bacterial biofilms is initiated by cells transitioning from the free-swimming
mode of growth to a surface. This review is aimed at highlighting the common themes that …

Originally described as a repressor of gene expression in the stationary phase of growth,
CsrA (RsmA) regulates primary and secondary metabolic pathways, biofilm formation …

The carbon storage regulator (Csr) or repressor of stationary phase metabolites (Rsm)
system of Gammaproteobacteria is among the most complex and best-studied …

Bulk RNA sequencing technologies have provided invaluable insights into host and
bacterial gene expression and associated regulatory networks. Nevertheless, the majority of …

Global regulation allows bacteria to rapidly modulate the expression of a large variety of
unrelated genes in response to environmental changes. Global regulators act at different …

CsrA protein regulates important cellular processes by binding to target mRNAs and altering
their translation and/or stability. In Escherichia coli, CsrA binds to sRNAs, CsrB and CsrC …

Biofilm formation in Escherichia coli and other enteric bacteria involves the inverse
regulation of the synthesis of flagella and biofilm matrix components such as amyloid curli …

Bacteria are often exposed to a hostile environment and have developed a plethora of
cellular processes in order to survive. A burgeoning list of small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs) …

The formation of biofilms is initiated by bacteria transitioning from the planktonic to the
surface-associated mode of growth. Several regulatory systems have been described to …
